your not imagining this latest rapid development (pardon the pun) Roger - I too can smell the stink of defeat in the air at pro labs lately (there dont even seem to be pros doing the developing anymore! - work experience kids and/or someones mum filling in - like its tuck shop duty !!! yikes - one thing I bitterly resent and dislike in this historical transition, is the price of old second hand high quality lenses you can get for a song, for old 35mm film cameras versus the cost of buying the equivalent quality primes for my canon for 'widefield' photography - (which is really all i am interested in - ie big bright comets - outside of a little moon/planet stuff) - where is the cheap second hand market for these lenses?! not even close to started - maybe in 10 years they will do the same!?! - so its back to a rich boys/credit card/second mortgage game again,to have a full selection of lenses that is - ahh the short lived proletariat heyday!
